October

Hello!  Happy October!

I hope that you are enjoying the month.  There are so many events coming up in our school as well as in the music room.

Grades PreK-5th are getting into the spirit by singing or playing Halloween songs in my classroom.  The band students are working in their new books for the year and working hard.
My 7/8 music students continue to learn more about our American roots by diving into African American spirituals and gospels.  We have been taking some notes and singing songs of that style in class.  These songs are the basis of our popular music!

Starting November 1st, all students will begin to work on the Advent program (and holiday program for the band students).  Look for the Advent program words to be coming home in the weeks to come.  Please have your student work on the songs at home! 

Have a wonderful month and if you have questions, email me!
